Work 3D Printing talk / Demo

A brief overview of 3D printing and then a more in-depth look at my struggles with building one.

Transcript

1. My 3D Printing Story A tragic tale of romance and betrayal
2. Intro Starting a print? What is it? Types of printing Why I decided to make one How I’m getting on * * Badly…
3. What is 3D Printing Dark magic
4. Types of 3D Printing Fused Deposition Modeling Works on an "additive" principle by laying down 
 hot material in layers The most common of the desktop 3D printers Overhangs can require printed / removable supports Lots of post processing needed afterwards
5. Types of 3D Printing Fused Deposition Modeling Supports
6. Types of 3D Printing Fused Deposition Modeling Post processing
7. Types of 3D Printing Fused Deposition Modeling
8. Types of 3D Printing Fused Deposition Modeling
9. Types of 3D Printing Stereolithography The first 3D printing process LASERS! Shoots LASERS at photopolymer resins, that react 
 and cure to form a solid object
10. Types of 3D Printing Stereolithography
11. Types of 3D Printing Stereolithography
12. Types of 3D Printing Laser Sintering / Laser Melting Similar to Stereolithography LASERS blast powdered material until it fuses The layer then moves down Un-sintered powder acts as supports
13. Types of 3D Printing Laser Sintering / Laser Melting
14. Types of 3D Printing Laser Sintering / Laser Melting
15. My Printer V3 Prints any object up to 140mm x 140mm x 135mm Layer thickness: 0.1 ~ 0.40mm Prints in ABS and PLA
16. How it’s meant to look Sleek Modern Clean
17. How it normally looks… No hood No case No head cover Wires spliced together with tape Discarded filament everywhere Surrounded by tools and swear words
18. My Story Started 18 months ago A project with my daughter* 4 issues a month 4 left till the bitter end * Who got very bored with it
19. My Story Progressed nicely as the 
 months went by
20. My Story Very easy to put together
21. My Story Looking really nice but…
22. My Story My first print was a chess piece The printer just stopped near the
 end of the print Hmmm…
23. My Story Can’t connect to printer Loses connection randomly and just stops Many headless Pokemon plant pots
24. My Story Extruder jams Blocked nozzles Replacement parts Burnt burnt fingers
25. My Story Mac Windows
26. My Story But worst of all…
27. My Story When…
28. My Story it…
29. My Story won’t…
30. My Story stick!
31. My Story What happens…
32. The Models Many paid / free catalogs I use Thingieverse (free) Shapeways (paid)
33. Ten Batmans in a hot tub I didn’t name it.
34. Questions?
